I am so excited to share this cover with you today. I haven’t shown anyone yet, but I just can’t keep it to myself any longer. It’s so pretty!

Anna Sikorska designed it for me, and I haven’t been able to stop staring at it since.

It’s for my new novel, The Storm Before the Calm, which comes out June 5th from Dreamspinner Press.

Here’s the blurb:

Charlie has one passion in life: dancing. It’s his salvation when it feels like the world is swallowing him whole. When his mom secretly secures him a spot in the summer intensive at the Free Rein Dance Company in New York, he is thrilled. He knows that once the summer ends, he’ll have to return to Beacon to get a job and help support his family, but for those two months, he can spread his wings.

In New York he meets Max, a junior instructor who is everything Charlie wishes he could be. Bold and self-assured, Max radiates pride in who he is. As they spend time together, Max shows Charlie what life can be like past the walls of his closed-minded home town. But Charlie doesn’t know if he’s ready to show the world who he truly is when standing in the spotlight is the last thing he wants.

I really loved writing this book. I got a chance to dive back into the dance world I left so many years ago, and New York is one of my very favourte places. I can’t wait for this book to come out, and I think the cover is absolutely perfect!
